I was in the military for eight years. The first time during Vietnam war. Even though I didn't see any action, my heart goes out to those that did and are still. I have a brother that was wounded in Iraq and is going through terrible pain. Thanks for writing this for all to share.

First of all, welcome to Hub Pages Cresentmoon2007!

Beautiful poem and good to know your brother is back safe at home. My husband used to be an Army officer in our country's Armed Forces so I found your poem quite touching.
